Mount Bonnell is a lovely spot to take a breather. Enjoy a picnic lunch, wander around the grounds or just lie on the grass and shut your eyes for a while.

This recreation and green space is free to explore, so you can have a good time without dipping into your budget. However, Mount Bonnell isn't the only worthwhile sight in or around the riverside neighborhood of Mount Bonnell Terrace. With Zilker Park, Texas State Capitol and Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum nearby, you may want to stay a little longer.

8.2/10 Very Good! (1,007 reviews)

The staff was not the friendliest or welcoming at front desk, there was some Maintenance or other thing being done so the entire breakfast, table & chair area was closed off. We did not eat breakfast on site either day. There was only 2 bags of hot tea, both earl gray , and staff said they had no more tea on the premises. Our room smelled musty and damp and I had to use our body spray to make it pleasant. For the price of stay for 2 nights I expected better.

Great place staff was nice, rooms clean and great views. Only negative is if you have large suv and get a large vehicle pass smaller cars still park in the spot and they don’t enforce them to move so have to either pay for parking close by or park in the 15 min wait parking
